Our Mining Division is dedicated to responsible, transparent, and technology-driven extraction of natural resources, prioritising beneficiation, compliance, and environmental stewardship. This is in direct response to regional development blueprints that emphasise value addition, beneficiation, and ethical mining as catalysts for industrialisation.
Gold
· Capacity: Operation of centralised service centres for artisanal and small-scale miners, providing assaying labs, mercury-free processing units (gravity concentrators, shaking tables), and mobile crushing/milling units.
· Plants & Equipment: Heap leach pads, carbon-in-pulp processing plants, bullion smelting furnaces, secure bullion vaults, and logistics vehicles for gold transport.
· Legal Compliance: Adherence to regional Gold Trade legistlation, environmental impact assessments (EIAs), and artisanal miners’ formalisation frameworks under NDS1.
· Business Case: Expanding beneficiation of gold to boost exports and domestic refining capacity, towards the goal of increasing earnings from beneficiated minerals.
Copper & Lithium
· Capacity: Provision of exploration support services—core drilling, sample preparation, geometallurgy analysis, and pilot concentrators for copper and lithium ores.
· Plants & Equipment: Core drilling rigs, XRF/XRD mineral analysers, flotation pilot plants, hydrometallurgical leaching units, lithium spodumene concentrators, and crushing/screening plants.
· Legal Compliance: Operations guided by the Mines and Minerals Act, SADC mining protocols, and environmental management regulations.
· Business Case: Copper and lithium are identified as strategic growth minerals which facilitate the transition to green energy (EV batteries, solar storage).
Aggregates & Quarrying
· Capacity: Community-sensitive quarrying operations supplying aggregates for roads, housing, and industrial projects with progressive rehabilitation programmes.
· Plants & Equipment: Mobile and fixed crushers, cone crushers, jaw crushers, screens, dust suppression systems, and noise reduction barriers.
· Legal Compliance: Alignment with EMA regulations on dust/noise control and biodiversity protection.
· Business Case: Aggregates form the backbone of regional transport infrastructure expansion.
Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) & Chromite (Regional Potential)
· Capacity: Smelting and refining ambitions with partnerships for downstream beneficiation.
· Plants & Equipment: Smelting furnaces, concentrators, chrome washing plants, and ore sorting technologies.
· Legal Compliance: Conformance to SADC protocols on value chain development and local beneficiation.
· Business Case: PGMs and chromite are identified as high-value minerals in national growth strategy, offering export diversification.
Coal & Industrial Minerals
· Capacity: Responsible coal extraction with integrated coal-to-power projects and industrial minerals (limestone, gypsum) for cement manufacturing.
· Plants & Equipment: Continuous miners, draglines, drilling rigs, conveyor systems, and coal washing plants.
· Legal Compliance: Compliance with regional energy policies and climate adaptation frameworks.
· Business Case: Supporting power generation, cement, and industrial value chains for regional growth.
Feasibility Studies and Project Preparation
· Technical Feasibility: Capability to conduct geological surveys, resource estimation, mine design, geotechnical analysis, hydrological modelling, and environmental and social impact assessments (ESIAs).
· Financial Feasibility: Expertise in financial modelling, cash flow projections, sensitivity and risk analysis, cost-benefit assessments, and preparation of bankable feasibility studies for financiers, DFIs, and EPC contractors.
· Strategic Advantage: Our integrated approach ensures projects are investment-ready, de-risked, and aligned with regional mining strategies.
Innovation Edge
· Digital Mine-to-Market Traceability: Blockchain-enabled traceability for ethically sourced minerals.
· Sensor-Based Ore Sorting: Maximising resource efficiency and reducing waste.
· Drone Photogrammetry: UAV-based mapping for pit optimisation and rehabilitation planning.
· Mine Water Management: Tools for acid rock drainage (ARD) control, recycling systems, and real-time water balance monitoring.
